On May 14, the former MLA Navjot Kaur had alleged that it was Punjab Chief Minister and Congress Punjab affairs in-charge Kumari who ensured that she didn't get a ticket from the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat. Kaur, who wanted to contest from Chandigarh, had alleged that the CM had claimed that he alone was capable to lead the grand old party's victory on 13 Lok Sabha seats in the state.

"Capt Sahab and Asha Kumari think that Madam Sidhu (Navjot Kaur) does not deserve an MP ticket. My ticket from Amritsar was denied on grounds that I could not win because of a train accident in Amritsar on Dussehra (in October last year which left 60 people dead). Madam Sidhu cannot win, this was said by Capt and Asha Kumari," she had told reporters in Amritsar.
